A former Penthouse model has been accused of luring old men on dating apps so she can burglarize their homes.
Adva Lavie, who has also claimed to be Israel’s top OnlyFans model, has been accused of targeting ten elderly men, but now her fellow porn stars are claiming that she has robbed them, too.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department issued a special bulletin on Wednesday, urging the public to let authorities know if they see Lavie or her distinctive vehicles, a glamorous black Porsche SUV and a white Mercedes-Benz sedan.
“Suspect Lavie has been involved in a series of residential burglaries throughout LA County, targeting older men and posing as a girlfriend or companion on social media dating platforms and applications,” the sheriff’s department said.
Lavie, also a former soldier in the Israeli Defence Forces, is known to use a range of aliases, including the name Mia Ventura.
She uses her “Mia Ventura” alias when posting explicit content on HoneyDrip, a rival site to the industry giant OnlyFans. Lavie is also known to use the aliases “Shoshana” and “Shana,” according to the press release.
However, the porn star and former Penthouse pet of the month told the Daily Mail that the allegations were “all new” to her and that she was the victim of a conspiracy theory.
“I think when you probably hang out with someone really powerful and someone really connected, if you piss them off, it’s problematic because they can really f*** you over,” she said.
When asked who she was talking about, she reportedly put the phone down on the Daily Mail reporter.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department did not announce any charges against Lavie in their bulletin.
However, her fellow porn stars have claimed that Lavie has also targeted them.
Codey Steele, an adult film star, said that he was victimized by the Israeli pin-up model while working with an LA-based party company. Steele says that Lavie burglarized the Airbnb rented for him by the entertainment company, stealing a slew of designer items.
“She decided to pretty much rob basically every person in that group, essentially anything marked with a designer label,” Steele told KTLA.
Lavie turned to the adult industry after being laid off during the COVID pandemic while working as a flight attendant.
She quickly built up a large social media following. She began appearing in porn films “despite disappointment from friends and family due to religious beliefs,” according to a press release from Clubhouse Media Group, which owns HoneyDrip.
“I consider myself a creative artist and HoneyDrip.com allows me to take this passion of mine in any direction I choose,” Lavie was quoted in the press release. “Never be scared or ashamed, feel empowered and free.”
Michael Sartain, host of the Access Vegas podcast, also accused Lavie of burglary after she appeared on the election night episode of the show. He told KTLA that she went into the greenroom and took credit cards and cash from her female co-star’s purses.
“She got up at the 45-minute mark, and she was gone for 45 minutes and just went through everyone’s bag,” he said.
Eden Lynn claimed to KTLA that she was one of the women targeted that night.
She said that she felt Lavie had robbed her because her card was charged for a hair appointment in a luxury Beverly Hills salon. The appointment was allegedly booked by someone who called themselves Mia Ventura.
“I got in contact with the salon and the stylist she booked with, and they gave me the name it was put under,” Lynn told KTLA. “She sent shots of the consultation FaceTime she did with her and the receipts and text messages.”
